simple open link - work in custom action i have a tree: checking the state and then several action. all of them work, but “open link” - just black screen. (like there no any web request) checking state - not affect the problem. my other custom action without it. “open link” - is black only if “open link” is first in row of action - it work. if before it any other function (other action or check state) - black screen please check it. ---

it works… what are you using Apps or Pages? changing the order of action might result in changing references. Analyze step by step where your link is at the moment of request. Note: Glide has a glitch on custom actions… sometimes it doesn’t save or save both edits, deleting and redoing the whole action will fix the problem. ---

when you are doing an action before opening the link… parameters might change to invalid… save the link as the last action, and click that saved link… but you said that you can’t open any link? even [www.google.com](http://www.google.com)? are you opening web view or browser? ---

oh. please read carefuly: this link open right, if it just first in action. but if i check a state (is it in favorite for example) - it’s not open. there are no any action with link. and other check: after it i write that link in “set value” - it’s right, no any changes ---
